<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 25364577, member: 118540&quot;]I use a Nikon Coolpix 18.1 megapixels digital camera, which I bought new in 2013. It was relatively inexpensive, perhaps $150 or $200 brand new. I don&#039;t know, if prices of low end digital cameras have increased or decreased, since 2013. It has a macro button, to turn the macro mode on or off. I use macro mode, when I take photos of coins. It has a lens, which moves forward 1.3 inches, when I turn the camera on. It&#039;s worked well for me. I&#039;m guessing, that there are many digital cameras, which have a macro mode, which are relatively inexpensive. Here are a few photos, which I&#039;ve taken, of 2 of my coins.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1622957[/ATTACH]</p><p>Byzantine Empire. John VIII. AR Stavraton. Minted 1425 AD To 1448 AD. Constantinople Mint.
